Bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane is thought to exert its effects by functioning as an alkylating agent. This property enables it to interact with nucleophilic groups found in biological molecules, including proteins and DNA, resulting in the formation of covalent bonds. Consequently, these interactions can induce alterations in the structure and functionality of the molecules, thereby influencing cellular processes in diverse ways.
